"Now that it comes to this, let's calculate the amount of time so I can know how much I might need to spend on one thing. Although it won't be accurate, I can spend my time in order, allowing me to reach Rank 9 God during this time." Alex thought for a moment.

"Alchemy and Array might take me a year to learn everything. As for the two elements… Yeah, it will probably take another year for them as well. The problem will be creating the Divine Spear Technique.

"In addition, I need to learn how to produce weapon qi to cultivate the Sword and Spear Possession, and there is still that One Sword Kill. If I calculate all of them together and the others, I might need three years for this.

"So… It will take me five to six years, I guess… And since I am consolidating every single stage now, I might need two years to reach Rank 9 God. And the last two years won't be enough to reach Rank 8 God. I will try to create Sword Qi and Spear Qi during this time and cultivate them as a side mission."

Alex recalculated one more time, but the timing was the same, so he nodded and started practicing.

The first thing that he learned was the array. Because it looked to be the easiest thing, albeit it was still a Divine Array. It took him two months to master it.

Alex paid no heed and started learning all the basic things he needed to know about Divine Pills. It took him more than half a year, longer than he expected, but he didn't mind going that extra mile, so he could grasp the pills better.

After that, he tried to make White Ash Pill and Soul Regenerating Pill. The latter pill was easier due to the fact that all ingredients were in his Inventory. He recreated all their features and practiced to make the pill inside his Simulation Room.

The Soul Regenerating Pill was usually used to heal the Divine Soul. It could be considered as one of the most needed pills for God Rank Expert, but it was also known as the most common pills. Alex never thought about making a fortune during this whole time because he knew no matter how hard he produced pills, it wouldn't be able to beat Eulja's whole revenue.

He decided to rely on the power of his Gacha System to get the money he needed for everything. He then proceeded to the next pill.

Different from Soul Regenerating Pill, this White Ash Pill needed White Ash Tree as its ingredients, the tree that he got from the lower world. He planned to harvest this tree and created a concentrated White Ash Pill to increase his power.

Well, he was not that greedy. He planned to share the three with Sherry, Kyle, Stina, Firia, and Fabio, so they could cultivate as fast as him. Though, it might probably need time to cultivate enough ashes to do that.

In any case, he needed to master the pill first. Due to the lack of the main ingredients, he needed to create a fake one. Unfortunately, it was not perfect because it lacked the energy from the White Ash. He ended up needing six months to complete the two pills.

Much to his disappointment, he continued to practice two Space Element and one Fire Element Techniques.

The first would be his Fire Element, the one that he felt confident the most.

Just like its name, Sun Descent, Alex created a ball that scorched the entire area. The Fire Authority enhanced it even further to the point it started melting the ground that Alex prepared for this place. Because of that, he chose to practice the technique inside his Simulation Room instead, as to not ruin this awesome room.

After that, he proceeded with the Reality Sphere and Space Compression. He mastered the Reality Sphere in a short time due to his proficiency in Space Plate, but when he moved to the second technique, Space Compression.

He realized how he needed a good understanding of each element, including the Spiritual Energy. He needed to learn all of it so he could compress them in the most efficient way.

To his surprise, he needed a year just to master this technique, whereas the other two only needed half a year in total.

After these two elements, he finally started his sword training. Since he only planned to learn about the One Sword Kill, he realized that it was harder than it thought. First of all, he had absolutely no clue as to how to incorporate this technique into his Triple Draws.

This One Sword Kill was literally one hit one kill. This required him to use his speed and power to the limit. His Triple Draws didn't allow such a thing due to the fact that he needed to draw the blade three times.

Normally, the triple draws actually took a portion of its original power, but with the total of three attacks, it would give a huge boost to the technique it amplified. Yet, this technique didn't let his Triple Draws do its job.

Once he held back for this technique, it wouldn't activate. Hence, this one might be the only technique that rendered his Triple Draws useless. Nonetheless, the technique itself was already so overpowered, so he didn't really need Triple Draws.

He still needed to make it his own, though. After all, this technique was the previous him Original Divine Sword Technique. To copy and master the original was a hard thing to do even with his Sword Mastery.

The plan was to master this technique within six months, but it stretched to one year due to the difficulty.

Alex wasn't mad at this. Instead, he was thrilled to know the strength of this technique. If he combined this with his Mythical Fire Slash, he might be able to power it up a little bit more. Still, it wasn't the main thing he wanted to do.

He had been dying to try the Sword and Spear Possession. He learned all the requirements and started cultivating his soul.

But it was so hard because his soul was already a Divine Soul. Although he knew that it would be so worth it later because the Sword and Spear Qi produced by the soul would be very strong, he still felt helpless with difficulty.

In fact, this was harder than any other technique he learned during this time. It was only after a year that he finally started producing his first Sword Qi.

Unlike Alex's black and red qi, his qi had a golden color, matching his hair and eyes. However, he stopped cultivating right after he had started cultivating the Sword Qi. He only had one reason. The fact that he needed to reach Spear God Stage first before starting everything held him back.

Because of that, Alex immediately learned about the elemental manipulation in the Hexagram Fusion. It indeed gave him a new concept about element manipulation.

And just like his previous self predicted, it became the foundation of his next spear technique.

When he hit the door with his technique, it created a huge dent while fire started bursting on the other side, melting the door slightly.

After that, he never tried to use that technique again unless he wanted to break this room.

He decided to proceed to master the technique and called it Twin Fusion Spear. As he always did, he never made a good name for his technique. This name originated from the Hexagram Fusion, where he added two elements and called it twins along with the spear because it was his Original Spear Technique.

Nonetheless, he finally reached the Spear God Stage.

As much as he wanted to continue his practice to produce the Spear Qi this time, he refrained himself and cultivated. After all, it took him seven years in total to do everything before his cultivation time.

Not wanting to drag it any longer, he began his cultivation to reach Rank 9 God. He was surprised at first because he never thought he needed a decade just to reach Rank 9 God.

But considering how much he got powerful right now, he felt nothing about it. His foundation had become very solid, so his speed would become far and far quicker later.

This time, it went as he expected because he only needed two years to reach Rank 9 God. It was one year of full speed cultivating and one year of consolidation.

And as much as he wanted to continue, he stopped again and focused back to produce his Spear Qi.

Unfortunately, the difficulty was as much as the Sword Qi. It took him a year to produce the first Spear Qi, and the amount was minuscule.

Although he was a bit disappointed, he decided to go to the Roksah World to learn an efficient way to increase his Sword and Spear Qi.

And finally… A long year of cultivation had officially finished. The time element lingering in the room had disappeared, so he knew he needed to leave.

He took another look at the room before leaving.

A paper on the floor came into his vision as he recognized it must be another message from his previous self.

"I have unsealed the gate for you, so you can take everything inside a room as long as you physically open it. I wish you could keep your promise by only taking one every time you advance a stage, but it doesn't matter anymore. It's your choice now.

"And without you knowing, I have planted a cheat code for the system, ensuring that the system won't be able to get the memory in this place. Well, the Dungeon God gave me the trick himself, so I knew how to do it… But don't ask, I have no intention to say it as well.

"Fret not, even if you think or recall everything that happened here outside this place, the system still can't record it.

"I wanted to talk about so many things with my future self, but I realized my time had come to an end. I apologize that I couldn't talk about Lin Xingzhi, Anna, Anya, and even your new wives. I am sure we will praise them like there is no tomorrow… But I was fine without doing it because they are in our hands.

"In any case, I want to remind you once again of this promise. Kill that beast! If you are still unable to kill that beast despite reaching the next stage of the God King, run away with everyone. Even if you need to be labeled as a coward, just run away.

"As much as I want to say we can sacrifice ourselves again to settle the score, I don't want all of them to mourn our death again. So, no matter what, you need to live!

"That's all. I wish you luck. From me to myself with love."

Alex took a few seconds to close his eyes as he muttered. "Thank you, me. I will say it again. I won't disappoint you!"

After that, he opened his eyes, gradually walking toward the first door with only his hands. And as expected, the door opened, revealing the so-called garden.
